GroundedConservation burial ground consulting services

Since 2006, LANDMATTERS has researched and explored models of green burial, conservation burial grounds, and natural cemeteries with an appreciation for the design of a conservation project that preserves a region’s rural character, ensures healthy wildlife corridors, protects important stream corridors, and ultimately, provides the community an enduring place of rest and regeneration.
